I wonder if Reinhardt would have wandered off into fusion-rock, as Lagrene did for a while. I'm glad he wandered back. And watching him play made me think of a remark recently made here about fingering...something like "after all, I bought the whole neck!" Lagrene's guitar has a huge sound hole, high on the instrument and almost as wide as the waist...and the fret board goes all the way to it...and he plays a LOT there...dont know how he gets his hand wrapped around the guitar, even tho it is cut away somewhat. On the other hand, the rhythm guitar had an unusually small sound hole, no wider than the fret board.
